The Spencer County Lady Bears could not overcome a tough start last Tuesday as they fell to the Lady Panthers of Frankfort, 52-37.
Frankfort used its quickness to create all sorts of problems for the Lady Bears in the first half, stealing several passes and scoring off most of those turnovers on their way to building a huge 19-1 lead after one quarter.

Western Kentucky University has been struck by an occupier movement. Fans of a Topper team that has won three of four, want interim removed from coach Ray Harper’s job title. The team transformation since Harper took over a month ago is becoming a feel-good story to rival Murray State’s No. 9 ranking and 23-0 streak, and Kentucky’s climb to No. 1.
Harper’s Hilltoppers have shown new energy, grit and growing confidence not seen before. The coach’s rotation seems to have sent morale soaring, too.

Dear Savvy Senior

In 1776, when Thomas Jefferson wrote the wonderful Declaration of Independence, he listed the pursuit of happiness as an “inalienable right,” just after “life” and “liberty.”
Could he and John Adams and others have ever expected that some day people would ever think that “happiness” includes things like a huge TV set, a fancy watch or automobile, or a larger, more luxurious home, or some form of cosmetic surgery?
